Rating 70.6

The golf course at the Western Skies Golf Club has a traditional layout with many different challenges and beautiful views. Surrounded by picturesque mountains and valleys, the course offers a taste of the countryside, which is further enhanced by the many aged Mesquite and Pinon trees sprinkled throughout. It features tree-lined fairways with generous landing areas and tricky water hazards. Two notable holes are the 4th and 7th holes, both par 3s. Although it is a modest 186 yards, the 4th hole requires a carry over water to a heavily bunkered green. Western Skies Golf Club's 18th hole is a drivable par four with water along the right side, making this an exciting finishing hole.

Needs a bit of attention in areas but a good round

Course is in fairly good condition but there are already some bare spots and it’s not really hot yet. The lounge was closed so no food or drink. And the staff was a bit overwhelmed with two tournaments this day. Took a bit of coaxing to get my cart sorted out.

We started the back nine on hole 10. There are WAY too many range balls out there at 07:30. Likely wasn’t cleaned up the night before.

Otherwise it’s a decent course for someone like me - just returning to golf after a layoff and still much a hacker.

FIVE STARS! Great Course, Great People!

Western Skies is always in immaculate shape, with wide fairways and big flat greens! The staff there always treat me like family, and they'll treat you that way too! Five Stars!

Fun Course, Great Staff! Five Stars!

I love Western Skies! Wide fairways and big flat greens make it fun for all skill levels. The entire staff there always treat me like family, and I can't say that about ANY OTHER COURSE! You'll like Western Skies, I promise. FIVE STARS!

Solid course

Fairways are okay, greens are really good in comparison to other courses around here. Startet around 8 am and finished under 4 hours. Practice area is in very good shape. Just the layout is a little boring. Mostly woods and a wedge into the greens. So you can really score low here.

just a nice little course

Nice municipal course. No good sight seeing and the ball can roll for ever if you are not in the fairway. Good course to play if you don't like to think too much.

Dry Conditions

I am from the Northeast and i’m not used to super dry conditions with little or no green grass/rough. I am aware there has not been much rain here and the large number of northern golfers migrating to AZ this time of year is driving up the green fees, but $85 seems a little steep to me.

Green Fairways

We really enjoyed this course. The greens fairways were a nice surprise! We usually can't find those under $100. The course appears to be well taken care of! We will be back!

Canadians

Fun course to play for couples as pretty wide open and straightforward. The last 3 holes took 45 minutes otherwise we would have been done in 4 hrs.
